Decide who you want to be, and then live up to it :)

Careful, you might end up trans!

i would recommend being preoccupied with the idea that it doesn't really matter what you do because that's done wonders for me so far dean-neutral

Fall in love. Treat that person with honor and adoration.

Join a communist party. Dedicate yourself to the work and your comrades.

Spend time in nature. Cultivate a love and understanding of the world's endless wonders.

Be the friend who sends invitations instead of waiting to receive them.

I'll back this up. Being a huge slut was the best thing I did with my 20s.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I can't relate, it's just what I dream

You can do it, I believe in you

I really can't, but thanks for the vote of confidence

i'm kind of curious, were you like one of those dude who read "the game" or did it more or less come naturally to you?

[–] BigLenin@hexbear.net 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

despair at what capitalism has done to this world and our singular existence

Become enlightened so you never end up back here again

I like to think of life as a 6.5/10 rated rail shooter with rougelike elements. Like clearly the gameplay loop needs work so I wouldn't care that much about anything that's not the other people doing multiplayer.

When you're able to choose, you should always err towards doing something and the something you choose should be what's immediately exciting to you. You should set aside time and energy for people who share your values because 99/100 of them are autobattling through their encounter with you. I wouldn't get too emotionally invested in the rougelike elements. Unless you're following a guide you're probably going to frustrate yourself trying to go infinite; you're likely choosing between a 10% boost and a 9.7% boost. And ultimately, I'd err towards dedicating myself to something as opposed to floating around even when it gets tough.

[–] miz@hexbear.net 1 points 41 minutes ago

what is autobattling

[–] freagle@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 4 hours ago

Smile. Choose joy.

[–] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 9 points 4 hours ago

I hear that birding is pretty fun. Maybe try that. Binoculars aren't hard to come by.

But if I’m going to be gay, I have to transition first, which seems like more than a minor inconvenience. thonk-trans

Already did various crimes, but what do I have to show for it? agony-limitless

The same as the rest of us. Suffer.

[–] blight@hexbear.net 10 points 6 hours ago

But how can I monetize that?

[–] rentasonder@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)
[–] blight@hexbear.net 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I have zero swag. Can I somehow use this to my advantage?

[–] rentasonder@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 5 hours ago

Real swag stems from being true to your gremlin self

[–] hexbee@hexbear.net 9 points 6 hours ago (6 children)

It's the sectet third thing. I can't tell you what it is though, it's secret.
